oof get sata ssds if u want an actual upgrade

[little osprey]

i can say, going from an 8 year old dying hdd to an ssd is one of the biggest upgrades ive given my system, besides my gpu upgrades

[deep spruce]

Ooo SSD me likey lol

Have 1 HDD an 1 SSD

Or do 2 SSD?

[little osprey]

I just have one ssd and a couple mechanical drives

[deep spruce]

Ok thank you

[little osprey]

make sure your OS is on the ssd

[deep spruce]

Ok how can I transfer it from HDD to SSD without reinstalling Win

[limber oyster]

i think my laptop ram is dying

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#xcx=0&t=15&Z=16384001,32768001,32768002&sort=modules&X=698,393920&page=1&S=3000,6400

which would be a good upgrade, looking at the 2x16 gb 3200 rip jaws

[frank stirrup]

macrium reflect

[deep spruce]

Huh

[frank stirrup]

application

to clone a disk

onto another disk

or image a drive

format ssd and clone hdd onto it

provided ofc, they are same size

[deep spruce]

Is it free to get?

[fossil cedar]

These are rip off prices, if you're laptop ram is dying, contacting your manufacturer will get you free replacement ram tho

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[limber oyster]

If have to send in laptop then, but I need it

[deep spruce]

Heck ya im getting the program then

[limber oyster]

It runs fine, just hella lag and I keep getting whea_uncorrectable error

[fossil cedar]

Suppose so, even then, first question, can you replace only 1 or both sticks of ram?

[frank stirrup]

did u run the bat file?

and did the scan find any errors?

i remember telling u to do it

[limber oyster]

Turns out it has one stick, but imma get two

[fossil cedar]

And also if you can get into windows, I'd try download and install whocrashed, to see if you can get any more info on what caused it

[limber oyster]

No, the error keeps happening

I'm reinstalling windows rn

[fossil cedar]

Yeah but can you replace both? One is sometimes soldered

[limber oyster]

Yeah, both slots are open

Only one is installed tho

[frank stirrup]

did the scan that the bat file did find any errors

[still roost]

azazel#8965 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[limber oyster]

?

Didn't run it, I requested time off from work and then shut it down due to lag

[frank stirrup]

...

it could have fixed ur windows install

[limber oyster]

Issue also was that windows install wouldn't detect my SSDs

Nvme SSDs nor my data ssd

[glacial umbra]

YEAH IM SO HAPPY

I FINALLY GOT A 3060TI BRAND NEW

LAST ONE IN STOCK

[mossy venture]

Pog

[limber oyster]

I got a 3080 a month ago on amazon

[mossy venture]

Congrats

[glacial umbra]

thanks kind sir

or maam

or n/a

[glacial umbra]

I'm surprised you got one through Amazon, that's like bot heaven

[limber oyster]

$1200

[mossy venture]

Not bad for amazon

I coulda gotten an asus tuf paired with a mouse for 1140 off newegg recently

My mom would've killed me though lol

If I can find one under 900 I'm buying it

[limber oyster]

I got a Asus ROG strix gaming OC 3080

[mossy venture]

Nice

That might even be msrp for that model

Strix tax

[limber oyster]

Now I just need to upgrade my RAM

[mossy venture]

What you have?

[limber oyster]

3200mhz cl16 4x8gb Corsair Vengeance

I want 2x32gb or 4x16gb

[mossy venture]

Ah corsair

My greatest enemy

[limber oyster]

3600mhz

Or 4000mhz

[mossy venture]

Don't get over 3600

Ryzen cpus don't do well with over 3600

[limber oyster]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/X7xbt6/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-64-gb-4-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl18-memory-cmw64gx4m4d3600c18

[mossy venture]

Sometimes 3800 is fine

Corsair does not make good ram

[limber oyster]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TKXJ7P/gskill-trident-z-rgb-64-gb-2-x-32-gb-ddr4-3600-cl16-memory-f4-3600c16d-64gtzr

[mossy venture]

I would not reccommend buying corsair

[limber oyster]

I NEVER had issues with Corsair

[mossy venture]

That gskill is much better

Both with the brand and the timings

[frank stirrup]

hell yeah!
how much

[mossy venture]

3200c16 is better than 3600c18

3600c16 is perfect for ryzen

[limber oyster]

My old laptop had Corsair, my desktop has Corsair, my brothers has Corsair, my dad's laptop has Corsair

No one has ANY issues

Except for my typing and spelling

[mossy venture]

Corsair ram often times has issues running even xmp

[frigid night]

But 4000 c18 is better than 3600 c16 for the new intel?

[mossy venture]

Ehh

About the same because of the timings

[frank stirrup]

yes

[frigid night]

And cheaper :P

[limber oyster]

Never had that issue

Might've been your board lmao

[mossy venture]

It's not from my experiences

[limber oyster]

Might not have been compatible

[mossy venture]

Many others have had the issue

[limber oyster]

Hmm guess I'm lucky

I never had any issues

[mossy venture]

I've only had hp, oloy and crucial ram

Oh also a gskill kit that I couldn't use

[limber oyster]

Oloy is nice tbh

[frank stirrup]

corsair binning is basically whats the worst and cheapest die we have to buy for this to work

[mossy venture]

Crucial is great

[limber oyster]

I want crucial bastillix but they've been discontinued

[mossy venture]

Gskill is fine

[limber oyster]

So warrenty will be hard

[mossy venture]

There's still some in stock

[limber oyster]

But warrenty

[mossy venture]

I managed to snag a 32gb 3200c16 kit for 90$ from crucial

Eh, personally I don't care about warranty much on ram but to each their own

[limber oyster]

Well what if it arrives dead on arrival?

[mossy venture]

Only thing that would really kill ram is a power surge or psu breaking, or me being stupid

[mossy venture]

Then you return it lol

[limber oyster]

Besides, I'm not gonna be buying today

Maybe in a month or two

[mossy venture]

That has nothing to do with warranty

Gtg

[limber oyster]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cfVmP6/corsair-vengeance-rgb-rt-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl16-memory-cmn32gx4m2z3600c16

What about these? These are coded specifically for AMD

[glacial umbra]

yeah i grabbed a gskill 32gb 3200 for the same price

prices for ddr4 kinda went back up

sad

[frank stirrup]

corsair = garbage

[limber oyster]

Idk why y'all hating on Corsair, just cause y'all break them doesn't mean that they're bad

I NEVER had issues in the...7 kits I've installed

[frank stirrup]

also "coded for amd" is marketing garbo

means nithing

[limber oyster]

And that's in AMD AND Intel systems

[frank stirrup]

They do the bare minimum of what they say, bad timings, overpriced, and in general low quality even if they work

work =/= worth it or even good

[limber oyster]

I never have lag, no failures, xmp work fine, no boot failures, nothing

[frank stirrup]

ok

and?

whats ur point

[limber oyster]

Y'all saying they fail and break easy

[frank stirrup]

bad timings are bad timings

[limber oyster]

My timings are always what they're set to and what they're advertised as

[frank stirrup]

they do have a higher failure rate

[limber oyster]

Y'all just got a bad batch

[frank stirrup]

mostly due to corsair cutting costs wherever possible

[frank stirrup]

no not really

its a well documented fact

[frank stirrup]

and what they advertise as is garbo compared to other kits out there

is the point

[little osprey]

Corsair is always meh for the price

[frank stirrup]

for example this kit has timings of 3600 c16-20-20-38

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zcH8TW/gskill-ripjaws-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-32gvkc
3600 c16-19-19-39

better kit

[limber oyster]

Barely

Besides, I'm looking for the RGB specifically

[little osprey]

l

[frank stirrup]

why ask for help and opinions if you dont want either..

do what you want if ur dead set on it

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jxH8TW/gskill-trident-z-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-32gtzrc

heres a faster more reliable kit tho

[limber oyster]

I was looking at those too

[limber oyster]

Laptop booted, gonna run that file now

[limber oyster]

Ran, no corruption found or integrity violations

[wooden quartz]

Hey guys what’s gpu better for gaming a Radeon rx 560 4gb with 6pin 🆚 gigabyte 1050 ti 4gb OC without 6pin

[mossy venture]

1050 ti

[glacial umbra]

missed this sorry, got it for 630 usd

just have to wait for it to be ready for pick up

[frank stirrup]

not too bad

[glacial umbra]

yeah it's just about the regular price in Canada

so I'm happy

[fossil cedar]

Congrats

Now cpu upgrade time

[glacial umbra]

all I need is the motherboard and I can finish my build

[glacial umbra]

already got her

5600x was on sale so I picked it up

[frank stirrup]

sheee

[fossil cedar]

Pog

[glacial umbra]

[frank stirrup]

i too 3060ti soon

[fossil cedar]

What board you have atm?

Could probs resuse

[frank stirrup]

pato has my 3060ti to nibble on for now

he hungy

[fossil cedar]

No point really buying new board unless you have 300 series chipset

Or a terrible b450

[glacial umbra]

I have a b450 but I sold my current PC to my cousin

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

Fair enough

[glacial umbra]

he was trying to get his first one and I was trying to build my new one, so it worked out well

glad I finally got him to switch to PC, haven't played with him for awhile

[humble fossil]

hi

I did not understand very well what the chipset

[fossil cedar]

A chipset is basically a small chip on a motherboard that handles all the other connections that don't directly connect to the cpu, ie any additional m.2 slot/pcie slot after the top one and the sata ports on intel it can also determine if you can overclock your cpu or ram but that's because intel made it artificially that way to charge you more money

[olive cypress]

New build = new "problems":

Why 2.1GB of RAM are reserved for hardware? That's too much right?

[fossil cedar]

Huh?

[olive cypress]

¿

On my other pc I don't have that much ram reserved for hardware

[fossil cedar]

Do you mean committed or paged?

Can you send a screenshot?

[olive cypress]

Eh

I have windows set to italian

Ok..

[little osprey]

isnt that for integrated graphics or something

what cpu do you have

i could be totally wrong lol

[olive cypress]

Oh

R5 2400G

[little osprey]

oh then maybe

[olive cypress]

Oh yeah

Right

[fossil cedar]

That could be it then

[humble fossil]

A chipset is basically a small chip on a motherboard that handles all the other connections that don't directly connect to the cpu, ie any additional m.2 slot/pcie slot after the top one and the sata ports on intel it can also determine if you can overclock your cpu or ram but that's because intel made it artificially that way to charge you more money

[fossil cedar]

Yes thank you for that copy paste

[olive cypress]

R5 2400G has 2.1GB of vram but I did not know it was shared with normal RAM

[fossil cedar]

Idk my laptop only has 165mb hardware reserved atm

[little osprey]

yea mine has like 120mb

[olive cypress]

Bruh , he looks like a bot

[humble fossil]

Pato do you know alex_1234 it’s me but I use it because password and etc :)

[fossil cedar]

And my igpuless pc is using 74mb

Hmm

[fossil cedar]

Wot mate

[olive cypress]

[fossil cedar]

Granted it's a work laptop so I'm not 100% sure might be a virtual desktop running in work

Not exactly but I can't think of the word to explain

[olive cypress]

But in this case I think that ram latency and speed affect also igpu performance...
Oh f.. I have cl22 ram

I don't know why but it is tooo much laggy

[frank stirrup]

ipu build?

[olive cypress]

igpu, yes..

2400G

[frank stirrup]

thats it

[olive cypress]

Yeah, i figured out that the igpu it's taking my ram

But it is very laggy

It has so much screen tearing on desktop

Like A LOT

[frank stirrup]

radeon drivers installed?

[little osprey]

[olive cypress]

Oh

No

Uf

[frank stirrup]

well thats your problem

[olive cypress]

Let's take the LAN cable

[frank stirrup]

press 4

and then 1

[olive cypress]

Can I download form and site?

[frank stirrup]

it takes u to the site

[olive cypress]

I have nothing on this pc

Literally

There is only the os

[frank stirrup]

you can go to the site too

but that script takes u there

directly

[little osprey]

script is just generally more sussy

generally

[olive cypress]

Installing new drivers,
It was not normal that the CPU usage spiked from 2% to 15% when I moved a tab...right?

[frank stirrup]

if drivers arent installed thats normal

[olive cypress]

No, i mean before I even installed drivers

[little osprey]

don’t worry about stuff like that

lmao

[olive cypress]

Beautiful, now it's so smooth

[humble fossil]

hi

How many minutes does the UPS stay on until it turns off?

[frank stirrup]

yes

fr tho depends what and how much load its taking and battery capacity of the ups

[red dragon]

I have a weird question

So I'm installing the peerless assassin on my computer

The way the fans look like their supposed to be installed makes it look like it's going to be pushing air from the back of the case to the front

Should I flip the fans to do the opposite?

[frank stirrup]

the way the fan is held rn is the way it goes on

sticker towards front

[red dragon]

I realize I was just being dumb lol

Are gpus not meant to go into the top slot with the shroud?

[fossil cedar]

the top x16 (long) slot

[frank stirrup]

tons of space

[red dragon]

The left side of the card doesn't seem to want to fit

[fossil cedar]

can you send a pic of the outside of the case

also make sure the pcie bit of the card is actually going in the slot

[red dragon]

Is that the short pin side?

That's the end that doesn't seem to fit

Op I got it

[fossil cedar]

tadaaaaaaaa

[red dragon]

Just came in from a different angle

That shroud makes it a real tight fit

[olive cypress]

New drivers for iGpu and it runs smooth like butter (before, due to screen tearing, the videos divided in 8 different frames) and I wanted to ask you something about AMD software, what benefits does it have? I've always used Nvidia cards

[fossil cedar]

it supports amd gpus.... thats the benefit

[little osprey]

lol.

[olive cypress]

But what has the AMD software have to offer?

[little osprey]

Not much

It just works better for your hardware

[potent portal]

It offers the same things as the nvidia counterpart

Customization, game profiles, VRR, etc

[desert gulch]

Don't lie

It has a ton

Adrenaline > Nvidia control panel

Anyday of the week

[little osprey]

i haven’t used adrenaline since like gen 2 intel😂

[desert gulch]

Hell, it even has stress testing in it

It's actually great software

[humble fossil]

800w and up

[potent portal]

UPS battery capacity is measured in VA

[frank stirrup]

"stress test"

yeah

[potent portal]

1200VA is good for an average user, there's an Amazon basics one that isn't trash and it'll keep you running if the power goes out while you're gaming for at least 10 minutes. Long enough to shut down safely, which is all these things are meant for.

[little osprey]

factual

factual facts

[desert gulch]

It has one

It shows some dedication atleast

Ofc it's not gonna be like heaven or furmark or 3dmark, but hey, it's something that's nice for some people

[frank stirrup]

it didnt exist then

[little osprey]

Fr? there was some amd thing

i forgot what it called

[waxen knoll]

Somebody help me

I put an rgb hub in my pc

And now if i turn it on the fans spin for like a second and then my pc does nothing

Only thing that works from what i can see is my ram

[red dragon]

Hmmm is there any reason my new mobo wouldn't be able to boot into my old windows install?

I know I should reinstall obviously but even windows media tool doesn't want to mess with the drive

Mobo sees the drive too

[uneven gulch]

Can the XFX Rx 6500xt fit in a atx case, specifically case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071G4KDKG/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1PYB0QXU6SOEO&psc=1

[fossil cedar]

yes but get a cougar mx330 g air instead, save yourself money and get a better case and i wouldnt buy a 6500xt unless you really cannot spend more money and dont want to buy used and will be pairing it with a pcie gen 4 cpu and motherboard

[red dragon]

So mobo sees the drive but won't boot to it and windows media tool doesn't see it at all

Or chooses not to

Not sure which

[strong raft]

Raid + Intel RST being on is probably most of your problem. Raid itself is generally for identical backup drives

[red dragon]

Is there an easy way to disable raid?

I'm assuming that's a software option

Okay I disabled RST and now it shows the drive as an ACHI

Still doesn't show bookable tho

Trying with CSM on

:O

Eureka!

So what is legacy booting and how is it different?

Will I always need that setting on for this drive?

[strong raft]

Possibly yes, or maybe as long as you have that specfic setup (with the hdd also). It's not like uefi outright gives more performance by itself I think.

[red dragon]

Interesting. Should I still reinstall windows you think? I went from an i56600k to a 12400F

[uneven gulch]

yup im getting an i5 12400f and a b660m mb and i dont really want to spend any more money on a gpu

[red dragon]

Ayyyy that's what I just upgraded to

I got a full sized 660 but still

[fossil cedar]

how much are you spending on the 6500xt?

[uneven gulch]

$279.00

[fossil cedar]

279?

ah

you can save ~100$ on the cpu mobo and get a 3050 instead, way better combo

[uneven gulch]

where do i get a 3050? arent they out of stock everywhere

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JChNnt you can do that instead

[uneven gulch]

I will probably change the i5 10400f to the 11400f because im mainly building my pc for competitive fortnite

[fossil cedar]

10400 vs 11400 isnt that big

[uneven gulch]

is that a good idea or will the 10400f be fine?

[uneven gulch]

oh ok

ty

[fossil cedar]

np

[red dragon]

How important is fresh installing windows with a new mobo?

[fossil cedar]

pretty important

can save a lot of pain

[red dragon]

Keeping files should be fine if I just use the window restart yeah?

Like personal files

[fossil cedar]

ye?

[fossil cedar]

as the completed list, i would do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KQ99JM

[strong raft]

That's quite a change. Many people say it's fine and or just install correct mobo drivers and stuff as usual. Personally I always fresh install windows to another drive for a mobo change & keep the old drive just to access it's files. Sorry late reply

[fossil cedar]

nahahha it causes weirdd errors best to fresh install when chipset change

[red dragon]

It's still the same drive

I didn't upgrade that yet unfortunately

I wanna save for a good nvme before I do that :p

[strong raft]

Exactly. I mean it's like people mention putting an old os drive into a new laptop but I don't bring it up to them that's it's unwise.

[red dragon]

Is there a way to check what windows licenses you have associated with your M$ account?

Yeah I'm fresh installing I just want to be lazy

I want to play some metroid prime in VR

[fossil cedar]

It should carry forward, if you're worried you can link ms account and it will aouto carry forward

[red dragon]

It's already associated with my account but I was more worried about it in the case that the hard drive died

[red dragon]

I was looking on the website but couldn't see a place to check what ones I had, I know I have a few

[fossil cedar]

Does it matter?

[red dragon]

Not anymore; I was mostly needing it to figure what edition of windows to install. Looks like there's no way to look either

[fossil cedar]

Oh that doesn't matter

[red dragon]

Do they just let any windows activate if you have at least one retail key now?

[fossil cedar]

Just do the latest

[fossil cedar]

Windows 7-11 are all the same keys

[red dragon]

Even between home and pro?

[uneven gulch]

alright tysm

[fossil cedar]

Np

[fossil cedar]

Well home and pro are different but it you install home and have pro key it should auto upgrade you to pro

[strong raft]

If you have a pro key like I do, I also highly suggest installing a Pro version of Windows. upgrading home to pro like Pato probably works, I'm unaware. I have however heard the opposite of "downgrading" from Pro to Home might not be possible.

Which monitor is better???

[fossil cedar]

msi g241/g242

[stable tinsel]

How do I fix my cpu stuck to heatsink

[fossil cedar]

Twist

[stable tinsel]

It's fully stuck

I tried heating up still nothing

[potent portal]

Detach the brackets and twist. Really. It can take a little force but the seal should break and you'll feel it.

[stable tinsel]

Tried that

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[mossy venture]

Honestly I just take a hammer and hit the bottom of the cpu, works every time 0% of the time (please don't do this)

[potent portal]

There's very few problems that can't be solved with a hammer if you think about it

[mossy venture]

world hunger? hammer

[potent portal]

Exactly! There's at least 3 ways to solve world hunger with enough hammers!

[mossy venture]

fair

[desert gulch]

build a pc with only a hammer, i dare you

you cant latch the cpu and stuff in with your hands, you must use hammer

[uneven gulch]

Are u high?

[potent portal]

Building a pc isn't a problem though, I specifically said problems can be solved

[desert gulch]

I have one word as a answer: hammer

[potent portal]

... I played myself on that one I think

[obsidian wigeon]

just hammer the cpu, ram, gpu and everything into the case

and you get a pc

[desert gulch]

hammer the screws into the case fans, thats one way to thread them in

[obsidian wigeon]

yas

[desert gulch]

tapping them in is for loser

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tVCyXy

This worth doing?

i have storage from my current build and the 1650

I’ll try to get a new GPU later and just game on this for now probably

[desert gulch]

that cpu cooler no workey on ADL

i bet deepcool would send you a bracket tho if it doesnt come with one

but gammax 400 kinda ugly imo

[little osprey]

Yeah i’m not sure on the cooler

I don’t want to pay like $35 or more for something that should only be like $20

Because really i don’t think the 12400f needs that much cooling anyways

[mossy venture]

ram needs changing

c18

[little osprey]

What’s so bad about c18

[mossy venture]

3600c18 is worse than 3200c16

[little osprey]

it’s like $100 rn for c16

[mossy venture]

also for the ssd do mp33

[little osprey]

ok but what’s bad about it

[little osprey]

i already have an ssd

like one i can put in the build

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Nqp323/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvrb get this instead

ah

[little osprey]

3200 tho ?

[mossy venture]

3200c16 is slightly better than 3600c18

[little osprey]

Worth sacrificing clock ? since it’s not b die

O

[mossy venture]

3600c18 isnt b die either

that case is a bit on the pricey side for what it is

id ask pato but hes sleeping rn

and rawr

[little osprey]

Yeah but i meant you can’t really OC clock speed back up 3600 to match the other kit

Usually the prices are a bit lower

[mossy venture]

3600c18 almost always loses to 3200c16

[strong raft]

12gen likes ram speed much more than 10/11gen, but not as much as Ryzen. I'd lean towards the 3200c16 G.skill or similar since they at least list all latency specs and are pretty reliable anyways. As for case, most Phanteks currently had prices get a bit wacky so idk. Recently could get a P400 for $70ish, so eh.

[little osprey]

Yeah phanteks cases fluctuate a ton

I see tho

Maybe i’ll shell out the extra moneys for 3600c16 when the time comes

[tame nexus]

Anyone wanna help me price this out since it’s older parts I’m tryna part out my old pc or sell it as a whole
-I7-6700k

• XFX AMD Radeon R9 Fury
• 500GB HDD
  -750w Gold Power Supply
  -X99 Taichi ASR Rock Motherboard
  -Corsair H60
  -16GB of DDR4 Corsair Vengeance

[glacial umbra]

is the corsair h100x a decent AIO?

[mossy venture]

Liquid freezer ii>

[fossil cedar]

If you want an aio,.which your 5600x doesn't, get an arctic liquid freezer ii or ek rgb or Lian li galahad 240mm+ but all you really need for a 5600x is a frost spirit 140 really

[cold sphinx]

how much watt for 5950x and 6700xt?

[fossil cedar]

Sounds like you're a high end user and the 6700xt is a placeholder?

[cold sphinx]

yeah sure

[fossil cedar]

A good 650w should handle that but I'd slap a good 850w in there so it's ready for an upgrade

[cold sphinx]

Thank you! :)

[fossil cedar]

No problem

[muted notch]

Should I buy Intel i5 10400f for rx 6600 xt

Ntb, if you haven't bought it tho, I'd put it in https://pcpartpicker.com/list assuming you're in the us and I'd change a thing or two

[muted notch]

I'm in us

I didn't buy it yet

[fossil cedar]

If you put that into the list and send back the link in the yellow box, it's cleaner and easy to make changes

[frank stirrup]

what u got rn

[fossil cedar]

They said for, as in to pair with sounds like new pc

[frank stirrup]

probs yeah

[frigid night]

@fossil cedar a coworker wants to build a gaming rig with me, but she only wants to spend around 2k. Is there a build you could suggest that would be able to run any game 1440p 120fps+ that could last a long while?

Here is the build I'm going with for myself. I guess I'm linking it as a reference point because this is what I've come up with with everyone's suggestions here.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mBTBbK

Also, she doesn't care about rgb or anything like that.

[fossil cedar]

This is your build?

[frigid night]

Yeah.

Well the one I've come up with with all your guy's suggestions on what is good value.

[muted notch]

None

[fossil cedar]

Well first off for you I'd go
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3VD29r

Nicer ram

[frigid night]

I was recommended 4k c18 as the 12700k would benefit more from it? Multiple people said that would be a good one.

[frank stirrup]

better than 3600c16 yeah

but 4000c16>4000c18

[frigid night]

Yeah because lower timings right?

[frank stirrup]

yes

reduced price without too much perf drop at 1440p

[fossil cedar]

You see the sticks you had were 4000mhz cl18 22 22 40 whereas the 3600 kit is 16 18 18 36 and will be running in gear 1 instead of gear 2

[frigid night]

I have 2 of the people I respect the most in this server telling me different things

[frank stirrup]

thing is perf difference between the 2 kits is not too much

get the cheaper one

the 3600c16 kit pato is speaking of is better

[frigid night]

Ok. I shall go with that one then.

[frank stirrup]

but unless u want to OC, the cheaper kit isnt much worse

[frigid night]

I was entertaining the idea of OC.

I will be OC the cpu at least. Not sure about the gpu though.

[frank stirrup]

when i say oc here i mean ocing the ram

[frigid night]

Yeah I am thinking of doing so. I was just stating I am planning on ocing all together I suppose.

So, if I want to oc the ram, I should go with the crucial?

[fossil cedar]

@frigid night
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CcGGGL

[fossil cedar]

Gpu oc is usually more beneficial and easier than cpu oc btw

[fossil cedar]

Just nicer xmp as well

[frigid night]

Alright cool. Thank you for all the info. And thank you for taking the time to put a build together so quick.

[fossil cedar]

Np

[frank stirrup]

nice

[frigid night]

I probably don't even need to oc the 12700k anyways huh

[frank stirrup]

12600k now

[fossil cedar]

Nah boosting is pretty good these days

[frigid night]

Thats for coworker.

[fossil cedar]

Thanks

[frigid night]

I'm still getting my build for myself.

I'm splurging a bit for mine because I haven't had a pc in a long while.

[fossil cedar]

But yeah this kit is decent if you don't want to ram oc, even if it's a lazy one
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dqbTwP/gskill-ripjaws-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-4000-cl18-memory-f4-4000c18d-32gvk

If you want rgb

[frigid night]

I think I'm gonna hold off on the rgb aspect of a pc for a while.

Yeah it looks cool, but that's all it is lol

Not like I have friends that come over to show it off to.

[frank stirrup]

how dare you :P

[frigid night]

I really only want the color green anyways.

[fossil cedar]

I mean tbf rgb is addressable

[frigid night]

And from what I've read is the 4000D black case has a dark glass on it.

[fossil cedar]

Doesn't have to be rainbow pule

[fossil cedar]

It do

I can show pic if you like but I've no rgb in there to shine through atm

[frigid night]

I'll take whatever you are willing to give me.

[fossil cedar]

Actually i might have an old photo

[frank stirrup]

id personally go p400a over 4000d airflow

since more fans

and better airflow stock

[frigid night]

Airflow stock? I couldn't find if the Arctic 360 would fit in there.

[fossil cedar]

Better airflow at stock

[fossil cedar]

It do

[frigid night]

There was also something else about it I think that turned me away.

[fossil cedar]

But some people prefer the 4000d looms

[frank stirrup]

as in without adding any extra fans

is stock airflow

[frank stirrup]

front mount like the 4000d airflow

move the fans that come with p400a to the top and back as exausts

[frigid night]

Oh I think it was because I couldn't figure out if the gpu would fit in it.

[frank stirrup]

it should

[frigid night]

Says 280mm on case specs and the gpu is 310mm

[frank stirrup]

lemme verify for u

[frigid night]

Although it says something about removing hard drive tray or something

[frigid night]

https://pangoly.com/en/compare/case/corsair-4000d-airflow-vs-phanteks-eclipse-p400a

[frank stirrup]

ive never heard of that site

[frigid night]

Seems pretty legit to me. Has all the 4000d specs right anyways.

[frank stirrup]

yeah the gpu pato linked in his list fits

[frigid night]

For the build for my coworker?

I'm looking for my build.

[frank stirrup]

yeah

[frigid night]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3VD29r

This is the one I'd be getting the p400a for if it fits the gpu

[frank stirrup]

yeah it fits

[frigid night]

Alright cool. I'll be getting that one then..

I guess I will have a bit of rgb in the build then since its same price as the 4kd

Now then... white or black?

I kinda like the white, but I feel like it'll show dirtyness much faster. Would require a periodic wipe down.

Oh right.. the p400a doesn't have a USB c on the case.

[fossil cedar]

You can find case specs if you just Google in then there will be a specs section on the first link

I cannot find 4000d pic with rgb but

Pretty reflective because bright in my room

[frank stirrup]

this broke my brain

for a solid 2 mins

[fossil cedar]

Lol

Tbf it's not in line with it, like a downward angle

[formal girder]

Shiny

Tho I do like the 5000D with it's double tinted tempered glass

[frigid night]

So I'm watching a video with the p400a case by gamers nexus and he is saying that a 280 arctic is barely fitting in there. That it is pushing on the io on the top

At 20:10

https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=522&v=4pKpLqiGgas&feature=youtu.be

I guess I should have pinged @frank stirrup . Sorry Pato.

[fossil cedar]

No problem

But he also says if you take out the hdd cage it's fine

[frank stirrup]

yeah

just take out the hdd cage

ur build has all ssd anyway

[frigid night]

I think he said he took out the hdd cage though to fit it in there?

At least that is what it sounded like to me.

Sorry guys. I just wanna make super sure.

[frank stirrup]

itll be fine

dw about it

[uneven gulch]

Hey guys, how reliable is Newegg's shipping specifically to the Caribbean, if they dont ship to the Caribbean can I ship my stuff to a skybox in miami. I know I am asking this question on Newegg's discord sever, so can you all try to be as unbiased as possible.

[fossil cedar]

Pretty sure they don't, so you would need to use a forwarding service

[uneven gulch]

ok np

[earnest olive]

honestly despite being the newegg discord you won't really see much bias towards newegg here lol

[muted notch]

I should never buy a prebuilt right? Cuz that'll be a waste of money. That's what I've heard from reviews. People say pre builts mostly crash or parts are dead. And if you get a perfectly working prebuilt then you're lucky.

As a beginner. I don't wanna waste my money. Should I go for prebuilt or buy parts by myself? Even if it costs more?

[earnest olive]

no, this is exaggerated lol

if prebuilts were this bad then nobody would buy them

and there wouldn't be so many businesses as their margins would be completely destroyed by returns

[potent portal]

If you get one of the good brands prebuilts aren't terrible, still a decent choice even if you're not a beginner.

[earnest olive]

the reality is, you'd be fine with a prebuilt as long as you pick correctly. you will end up with a better pc for less if you build it for yourself, but not everyone is willing to build their own and that's okay

[muted notch]

How's abs. They are affordable.

[earnest olive]

ABS is quite good

[potent portal]

That's neweggs house brand

[earnest olive]

they never use proprietary components

so you will never be restricted in terms of upgrades

[muted notch]

Their price is really good. I was gonna buy it until i saw the reviews

[earnest olive]

we recommend ABS prebuilts here all the time and seldom see anyone come back with complaints

[potent portal]

We try to recommend the ones with mesh front panels, that way the parts aren't choking

[earnest olive]

lol, the gamer's nexus ABS review is worth 1 billion user reviews

https://youtu.be/b2vrvQydVIw

[muted notch]

And how is acer Orion 3000?

[earnest olive]

it's not perfect, but the only way you'll end up with a perfect prebuilt is if you find a local guy and get lucky that your local guy is actually competent

I sell prebuilts locally and have a lot of pride in my work

also end up cheaper than most prebuilts

I advertise on facebook marketplace so you could check there and see if anyone offers similar services in your area

[muted notch]

Alright.

Thanks for the info

[olive cypress]

Wow! New record, 1 day after I built the new pc (new build) my brother was able to break the HDD 👍 👏 👏

[earnest olive]

lmao

maybe you should get your brother a chromebook and tell him to stay far away from your pc

how on earth did he even break an hdd

did he pick up the PC, shake it, and rub magnets all over the hdd?

[olive cypress]

Actually it's his pc that I built
(With my money too) and he thinks pc components are like impossible to break and he thinks he can just move the pc like if it is indestructible

[olive cypress]

Probably when he moved the PC

👏

[earnest olive]

his pc that you built with your money?

[olive cypress]

Hdd is always at 100% with only 0.1mb/s and files open after like 6 minutes

[earnest olive]

sounds like your parents have a favorite child

[olive cypress]

No

I helped him since the PC was pretty cheap

[olive cypress]

My parents are divorced and I don't think they have a favourite child

Now he is gonna get the 100GB HDD that is laying around somewhere

No...
Actually
I'm not going to give him the HDD

He's gonna buy one with his money

[serene hedge]

is there a place where i can talk about my phone trouble

[glacial umbra]

alright, I know it doesn't need an AIO at all but I really wanted one this time around and the budget ones aren't too bad imo

thanks kind sir

[fossil cedar]

Yw :)

[glacial umbra]

I FORGOT THERMAL PATE

[desert gulch]

*thermal pate

[glacial umbra]

thanks fixed it

[olive cypress]

Pate

👍

[glacial umbra]

[fossil cedar]

comes with the cooler

[glacial umbra]

oh

💀

i probably should've checked that

[fossil cedar]

comes with all coolers lol

[olive cypress]

https://m.it.aliexpress.com/item/4000329789577.html?pid=808_0001_0109&spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.114eJ2p9J2p91O&browser_id=4afeb4588d3c43ebb30b6864850969e7&aff_trace_key=4b822930824f46d19db564246c2b369a-1646479590828-02493-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=yr2pghepztccau3v17f5bbc46dc1afa34482d05119&gclid=

False

@fossil cedar

Not every cooler

[fossil cedar]

unless people say it doesnt come with it then it probs does

also just dont buy 10€ ali express coolers

[desert gulch]

.

You lied tho

You betrayed us

Now I'm going to resubmit techie form rating you as a 1 for being British

[fossil cedar]

[glacial umbra]

I opened it but I was blind and couldn't find it lol

thanks once more kind sir

[fossil cedar]

np lol

[glacial umbra]

been so long since I've built I feel like I have no idea where to start

gotta get started though

[glacial umbra]

my AIO is blocking the CPU cable

time to die

[fossil cedar]

Huh?

Should not be interfering with cpu power at all

[glacial umbra]

I couldn't plug in the cable with it installed so I had to take it out, plug the cable in and remount it that's all

alright new problem, my monitor won't switch to 1440p

fixed itself

[zenith ore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9KsLJM opinions?

I have a 1650 LP rn upgrading when prices drop

prolly to a 3060 ti

maybe 3070

[fossil cedar]

You could fit a 3060 ti build in the 1700$ budget that is awfully budgeted

[fossil cedar]

Do this instead
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GvsLJM

Just realised that included peripherals but you can chop couple hundred off build 1 sec

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pzH29r

Not too much more and way better, also wouldn't buy that keyboard for ~130 from asus or wherever it was, I'd ask in #peripherals-and-displays for some suggestions

[mossy venture]

Why not p400a digital at that point, that case is 100$ not sure if it changed since you put it together

[jagged ember]

360a isn't noticeably smaller than the 400a too

[fossil cedar]

What wideus said, also p400a is like 105 now and it's not worth that really, also was trying to fit a whole 3060 ti in the same budget lol, also meshify c is similar size which is what they originally have

[uneven gulch]

What is the performance of a 6500xt compared to a 1650 super

[mossy venture]

I'd get the 1650s before the 6500xt, unless the 6500xt is cheaper

And 6500xt is barely worth it at $200

[uneven gulch]

Someone told me the 6500xt is better than a 1650s

[uneven gulch]

Yes it is by like $220 on amazon

[zenith ore]

i heard somewhere that a 1650 gives equivalent performance to an r7 3700x which im cool w until prices drop tho

[zenith ore]

for the keyboard i was looking at a ducky one 3 mini, that, or a razer blackwidow mini v3 phantom

[frank stirrup]

ask in #peripherals-and-displays

[frank stirrup]

Whoever told u tht was smoking something tbh

[fossil cedar]

1650 is a gpu, 3700x is a cpu they are not interchangable also a 700$ 3060 ti is deent tbh, idk about keyboards ask in the peripherals channel

[zenith ore]

no i mean like it gives similar performance with the 5600x

as if u had a 3700x

[frank stirrup]

Yeah because ur gpu bound in both cases

you could slap in a 5950x and see next to no improvements realistically while gaming

[fossil cedar]

thats irrelevant tho lol?

[frank stirrup]

unless csgo or minecraft

[uneven gulch]

Hey guys can someone make me a pcpaetpickerlist that is around $800-$850 that can play fortnite on performance mode at stable 165-144fps?

[zenith ore]

the budget doesnt really matter as long as its under $2800 as I'll be saving up for it

[uneven gulch]

Someone from a fortnite discord server told me i can get stable 165fps with just a 10400f and a 1650

[stoic island]

I kind of doubt it

But you can try it if you really want to

[zenith ore]

i mean a 1650 can run fortnite pretty well in performance mode

with low end rigs the CPU is the hog in fortnite

[fossil cedar]

I mean you can get a 3080/6800xt/6900xt pc for that

[stoic island]

Lots of reports of lots of frame drops late game in Fortnite, dunno.

[fossil cedar]

Right now

[frank stirrup]

3080ti/3090 if look for msrp

[fossil cedar]

Yeah but i mean in stock

[frank stirrup]

yeah no

just adding to that

[zenith ore]

for me i have a 1650 and i5-4570, I can get the game to run smoothly at like 120 fps but the CPU makes it impossible to play cuz nothing loads in

[stoic island]

Ye

[zenith ore]

I play mostly vr games but also val and siege competitively

[earnest olive]

actually i plugged a 3090 into my cpu socket and now i have nasa supercomputer

don't listen to big linus they are lying to you so you don't unlock the free performance

@zenith ore get a 12600K for maximum single core performance, 12400 if that's out of budget

[little osprey]

yo anyone know how to fix mobo blinking orange on ram

[earnest olive]

should be able to get more than 120 fps

[little osprey]

i’ve reseated ram and gpu

[earnest olive]

blinking orange?

like you have debug leds and they are... blinking?

[desert gulch]

I think it's dram light

That's my guess, since he said it's blinking orange on ram

[earnest olive]

just asking bc i've never seen debug led blink lol

[desert gulch]

Lol

[fossil cedar]

I mean you could do this + keyboard of your choosing
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xrmD2m

[stoic island]

Or ram rgb blinking

[desert gulch]

Change out psu

[fossil cedar]

?

[earnest olive]

idk any ram that has orange blinking as a default pattern

[desert gulch]

Revo df is back to good price with rebate

[little osprey]

oh yeah also fans r super loud

[earnest olive]

you have a strange definition of blinking

[still roost]

j a s o n ! !#3907 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[earnest olive]

have you tried clearing CMOS

[little osprey]

i didn’t mean blinking

[fossil cedar]

I don't have rebate filter om

[little osprey]

how do i do that again

[desert gulch]

O

[little osprey]

someone told me to do that and i forgot

[earnest olive]

find CMOS pins according to your motherboard manual

short them with a metal object

[little osprey]

huh

💀

[earnest olive]

?

[little osprey]

idk what you mean

[frank stirrup]

unplug pc from the wall and take out the circular battery from mobo

wait 5 mins

put everything back together

[earnest olive]

what part of what I said wasn't clear

[desert gulch]

More work

Than just shorting out two pins

[earnest olive]

read the manual

find where it says the CMOS pins are

connect them using a metal object

[little osprey]

circular battery as in that

i don’t really@got metal objects on me

[earnest olive]

screwdriver?

tweezers?

box cutter?

[little osprey]

The battery is a cr2032

[zenith ore]

might change the monitor back i did like 3 hours of research to find that one

[earnest olive]

the end of a headphone jack?

zipper?

metal chopstick?

paper clip?

[frank stirrup]

easier to explain

and less likely to mess up

[zenith ore]

also sorry if i take a minute to reply rn playing ats vr

[little osprey]

i got a screwdriver

[frank stirrup]

that doesnt make it better for ur use case tho

[desert gulch]

If you read the manual it's impossible to mess up the method sips said

[earnest olive]

screwdriver works

[little osprey]

wait so should i take out the battery or do the other thin

[frank stirrup]

if you read and follow yeah

[little osprey]

also should i take out my gpu before doing this

[earnest olive]

I've done cmos clear with so many random objects

only if it's blocking the way

otherwise not necessary

[little osprey]

it kinda is

it’s crammed

[earnest olive]

CMOS pins are usually at the very bottom

[earnest olive]

and not next to the battery

but sure take out for better visibility

[little osprey]

gpu won’t come out

bruh this is annoying

[earnest olive]

have you tried unscrewing it

press down the pcie slot clip?

[little osprey]

i did

now i’m pushing on the release thingy

with a chopstick

and it won’t come@out

took me a while last time i did it

[earnest olive]

pull gpu and push clip at the same time

takes 2 seconds when you get used to it

[little osprey]

yeah no

won’t budge

[earnest olive]

i use my thumbnail instead of chopstick

probably more stable

[little osprey]

thumbnail?

[earnest olive]

the fingernail on the end of my thumb yes

[little osprey]

i’m getting a pop sickle stick rn

oh i have short nails

[earnest olive]

i have no nails

[little osprey]

cant do that

[earnest olive]

still works

[little osprey]

i tried that last time

[stoic island]

do not underestimate the chopsticks

[little osprey]

it didn’t work

only the pop sickle stick worked

[stoic island]

You did unscrew the screw, right?

[earnest olive]

wireless gpu when

oh wait we have that already

[little osprey]

yes

i unscrewed it

bruh this thing will not unlock

even with the pop sickle stick

i hear a click but it isn’t the one that makes it lunlock

unlock

Bruh can i vc with someone

[frank stirrup]

Magsafe gpu when

[little osprey]

someone help plz

[earnest olive]

idk how we're supposed to help besides coming over and doing it lol

there's not much to say about removing a gpu

[little osprey]

bruh i just need to Vc someone

it’s being weird now

[frank stirrup]

remove the pcie lock from back of the case

unscrew gpu

ress down on latch

pull

[little osprey]

oh my god i already did that

[earnest olive]

pulling out a gpu is not a complicated task.. not sure what else you expect us to say

it is a 2 step process

had no issues instructing my mom on how to do it

[little osprey]

so when i push on the latch it makes a tiny click but when i pull it doesn’t come out but the latch moves forward

[earnest olive]

push harder

[little osprey]

i am bruh

[frank stirrup]

use ur fingies

not a stick

[earnest olive]

if my 60 year old mom can do it with these simple instructions then idk what to tell you

[fossil cedar]

Unless you're going to be playing only csgo or valorant at a high level not much point going 240hz instead of 1440p

[little osprey]

somethings wrong with mobo or gpu istg

it did this last time

[frank stirrup]

no

[earnest olive]

you are clearly not pushing the clip hard enough

just use your finger..

[frank stirrup]

somethings wrong with ur pushing

nothing else

[earnest olive]

popsicle stick isn't going to give you enough stable pushing strength

[frank stirrup]

^

[little osprey]

last time i did this all i had to do was push with the pop sickle stick

nah it worked last time

[frank stirrup]

is this the last time?

[earnest olive]

ok then figure it out yourself lol

if you know what's right then do it

[frank stirrup]

and didnt u say it did the same thing last time?

[little osprey]

also my fingers don’t work either

no it worked right away with the pop sickle stick last time

[earnest olive]

i've been pulling out gpus in 2 seconds with my fingers for forever to dust them out

[little osprey]

but i spent 30 mins pushing with my fingers

[earnest olive]

but you do you

[little osprey]

and it didn’t work

[frank stirrup]

it hasnt even been that long since u asked what to do....

[little osprey]

i meant last time

[frank stirrup]

just push harder then

and dont pull gpu till the clip is all the way back

[little osprey]

yeah i know

i pushed insanely hard like two minutes ago

the exact same thing happened

where the clip slightly pushes back

[frank stirrup]

get a parent to do it

[little osprey]

but doesn’t release the gpu

[frank stirrup]

someone slightly stronger than u

[little osprey]

it won’t make a difference

[frank stirrup]

because ur strength obv isnt enough

[little osprey]

legit the way i got it out last time was with the pop@sickle stick

no reason it wouldn’t work this time

[frank stirrup]

ok keep trying

good luck

[earnest olive]

nothing annoys me more than when someone asks for help but then insists that they are more knowledgeable than the people they are asking

🙄

[little osprey]

i’m not saying i know more than you

i’m saying what your saying i’ve already done

[earnest olive]

there is really no other solution lmao it's a two step process

push harder

[frank stirrup]

literally by ignoring advice and doing ur own thing after asking us, its exactly what ur doing

[little osprey]

bro 💀

[earnest olive]

it was easy for my mom who has never seen the inside of a computer

idk what to tell you

[frank stirrup]

if you arent strong enough get a parent to do it

[little osprey]

“push harder” what do you think i’ve been doing

[frank stirrup]

get a parent to do it

[little osprey]

obviously it’s something with the mobo/gpu

[earnest olive]

she's 60 and has never worked manual labor i don't think her hand strength is the greatest lol

[little osprey]

i don’t have a adult with me rn who’s stronger than me

it’s legit my grandma

[frank stirrup]

she could probably do it

its not hard

[little osprey]

nah i’m stronger than her

[earnest olive]

epic pc building grandma moment

[frank stirrup]

^

[frank stirrup]

never know for sure till u ask

[little osprey]

i’m 100% stronger than her

[earnest olive]

now i'm curious if i could guide my grandma through building a pc

she doesn't speak a single word of english

[frank stirrup]

and yet you cant get a gpu out

just ask her

[little osprey]

i did it last tome@

[frank stirrup]

no harm in that

[little osprey]

time

with the exact same thing i’m using rn

[frank stirrup]

ok then just do it rn

[earnest olive]

then do it again

[frank stirrup]

idk why its so hard

[little osprey]

that’s what im saying

it’s not working

even though i’m doing the same thing

[frank stirrup]

then ask ur grandma for help

since ur having issues

its not gonna harm anything

idk why u refuse to ask her

[earnest olive]

inb4 grandma hulk smashes gpu

[frank stirrup]

LOL

[zenith ore]

im not rlly worried about resolution or refresh rate, 240hz is nice but not a requirement, same with 1440p, I'm more worried about features on the monitor

the monitor i had picked out has ELMB that is almost as good as DyAc

and for $150 cheaper

[fossil cedar]

Elmb dyac?

That monitor is high refresh, high resolution, nice panel and has a built in KVM, as well as freesync

[zenith ore]

backlight strobing

stops motion blur

[earnest olive]

stops motion blur?

[fossil cedar]

Ohh

[earnest olive]

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-smacking-credit-card-on-table-gif-21340324

[zenith ore]

like super clear images when theres movement

[fossil cedar]

I've never heard of it referred to as that, anyway rtings has a great review on the M27Q

[zenith ore]

ill check it out

[fossil cedar]

@zenith ore
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q

[earnest olive]

they're like manufacturer specific names for a feature

i think asus calls it dyac

[fossil cedar]

Ahhhh

Asus moment

[frank stirrup]

wrong link

[little osprey]

@little osprey are you trying to install a ram stick or something

[zenith ore]

no benq does

the zowie

[earnest olive]

oh

[zenith ore]

most other monitors calls it elmb or ulmb

[frank stirrup]

copy and send this one @uneven gulch

[uneven gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j49cY9

[fossil cedar]

DON'T GET THAT POWER SUPPLY

[zenith ore]

DyAc is like top tier motion blur prevention

[earnest olive]

that power supply is a bomb

[uneven gulch]

Is this a solid build to get stable 144-165fps on fortnite performance mode

[earnest olive]

and not in the good way

6500xt is bad

[uneven gulch]

💀

[zenith ore]

and the monitor i picked is like the only one that even gets close to what DyAc can do unless ur spending like 800+

[fossil cedar]

For 1k you can get a 3060 prebuilt

[zenith ore]

even then still not close

[earnest olive]

6500xt is only worth considering if you can get it for exactly $200 and not a cent more

and even then it's still not the best option

[zenith ore]

also iBuyPower if u dont have all the cash in hand

monthly payments

[uneven gulch]

I dont wanna go over $850. I would get it if i was playing like apex legends or something but it is just for fortnite

[earnest olive]

please, anything but ibuypoopoo

[zenith ore]

do you have another pc for apex or sum? lol

[little osprey]

Please don't cheap out on the power supply lol

[zenith ore]

yeah

[earnest olive]

go ABS or something

[mild roost]

Can I get some help. My pc was running fine. And then it crashed. And now I am getting a white VGA light, no monitor display, no spinning fans in gpu. I tried taking out gpu, cmos reset, reset, going to one stick of ram, checking cables plugged in right. I am getting power to all components tho even gpu. Any other suggestions?

[zenith ore]

you don't wanna be playing an intense game in fortnite then ur pc goes boom

[earnest olive]

how old is your gpu

[frank stirrup]

ibuypower more likeibuycrappc

[uneven gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D4JyXy

[uneven gulch]

Lmao😭😳

[earnest olive]

bold of you to assume it's only going to be your pc

[uneven gulch]

Is this pw supply better?

[zenith ore]

i would just go with that tbh

just save up a bit more

[zenith ore]

only $150 more

[earnest olive]

i've seen pictures of houses burned down where the firefighters confirmed the source was the evga psu

[little osprey]

this isn’t working bruh

[uneven gulch]

For what?

[earnest olive]

looks like you are pushing on it with about -5 pounds of force to me

[zenith ore]

spooky

[zenith ore]

3060 build

[little osprey]

because i don’t need to put that much force

[frank stirrup]

never pushed it all the way back

[uneven gulch]

Can u send the link?

[earnest olive]

whatever you say lol

[zenith ore]

the one u just sent lol

[earnest olive]

wonder why your gpu is still stuck in that slot

[zenith ore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D4JyXy

[little osprey]

cause it doesn’t push all the way back

[frank stirrup]

skill issue

[zenith ore]

wait

[frank stirrup]

ask granny

[zenith ore]

1 sec

[frank stirrup]

or dont ask us

[zenith ore]

didnt read it rigth
